I finally bit the bullet and bought one of those converter boxes, since I rely on both rabbit ears, and an on-roof antenna that has actually been dangling by its cable off the side of the house for about a year. I've gotten used to fair-to-poor tv reception. Well I hooked that sucker up, let it search, it found about six digital channels already being broadcast, and they come in awesome. I've got the Superbowl on right now, and you would think that I had cable. :cheersmate:
(added: and i'm just using some crappy rabbit ears to pick up the signal.)

Smart antennas are what we sell to stupid people. If the antenna you have works, then it works, and you do not need a new one. Sadly, LOADS of people are too stupid to know this.

The converter boxes work great, and you usually are able to find a couple channels that you could not pick up before.
Where I live, signals are exempt from the digital conversion. The network stations are bounced over a mountain from Las Vegas and are picked up via UHF. It results in crappy reception most of the time, and no more then I watch TV it's not worth getting a dish or cable.
